1977-1979 Mark V- Dual Exhaust?

[formerLSCowner]

Was dual exhaust an option on the 77-79 Mark V? My 78 doesn't have it but it does have the 460 engine. I've seen some other Marks that do have duals though.

Thanks,
Steve

Dual exhaust was common, I thought all 460s had it. It won't take much to covert it over, so do the right thing. :)

:rofl:

I thought they all had it too!

Don't worry, you're talking to a guy that takes brand new vehicles directly to the exhaust shop to have duals installed if they didn't come that way. ;)

My Trailblazer had less than 100 miles on it when I had the shop fab up duals for it. I've lost count of how many vehicles I've put duals on. I love duals!!

I'm thinking (at some point) the Shark needs headers with a cat-less x-pipe true dual system! :cool:

Hi FormerLSCowner

I know in 79 only a single exhaust was available from Ford, I believe in 77 and 78 dual exhaust was an option.

Thanks for the info Dereck!

I like your sig picture. I need to clean up my turbines and either repaint or polish them.

Cats are a big restriction on these cars, they are tiny.

No headers available...if you get something to work (I tried) give us the knowledge. :)

Damn! Would 460 truck headers be too big?

What about an H or X pipe, does anyone make them for the Mark V?

I guess if nothing else, just a 2.5 or 3" true dual system from manifolds back.

Hi FormerLSCowner

The turbines on my Town Car :)

You can put whatever you want after the manifolds, there's plenty of space.

Headers don't work because of the steering box's screwy location on the crossmember. Bummer.

EDIT: the stock system has an H-pipe, if I remember correctly. Just put whatever you want in that location on the car and you're done.

Nice! Mine are all cruddy. At some point I might strip them and paint the middle area black or silver and polish the face.

Cool!! Now I just need to find money for all my grand plans. :D
